The area of a quadrilateral whose vertices is ABCD taken in order are (1,2) (-5,6) (7,-4) and (-2,t) be 0 ,find the value of t

1 answer:

3 0

Coordinates : A(1,2) B(-5,6) C(7,-4) D(-2,t) - All are taken in order

gradient of AB = (6-2)/(-5-1) = 4/-6 = -⅔
since it is quadrilateral, AB//CD
gradient of CD = -⅔
equation of CD : y-(-4)=-⅔(x-7)
y+4=-⅔x+14/3
y=-⅔x+⅔
now, sub x=-2 from D(-2,t)
since t is the y-coordinate of point D
t=-⅔(-2)+⅔
t=2

Therefore, t=2

First, use the random number table to generate the possible probabilities but only account the first four digits in order to get a value that is a percentage
35.85%
28.97%
90.12%
5.07%
20.43%
The average is
36.09%
There is a 36.09% probability that the light will be green when reaches the traffic light

Hi, can someone help with these two questions ASAP! (Ignore the multiple choice I circled, not sure if it’s correct)

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

1) D. $y = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot x^{12} -7\cdot x^{5}+\frac{2}{3}\cdot x -10$

2) E. The coefficient of $x$ is -16.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A polynomial is an algebraic expression of the form $p(x) = \Sigma \limits_{i = 0}^{n} c_{i}\cdot x^{i}$ , where $n$ is the grade of the polynomial. In this case, the only equation that satisfies this definition is:

$y = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot x^{12} -7\cdot x^{5}+\frac{2}{3}\cdot x -10$

Correct answer: D

2) Let $p(x) = (2\cdot x + 1) \cdot (5\cdot x^{3}-8\cdot x +4)$ , we proceed to expand the expression by algebraic means:

$p(x) = (2\cdot x + 1)\cdot (5\cdot x^{3}) -(2\cdot x +1)\cdot (8\cdot x) + 4\cdot (2\cdot x + 1)$

$p(x) = 10\cdot x^{4}+5\cdot x^{3}-16\cdot x^{2}+4$

We see that coefficients for $x^{2}$ and $x$ are -16 and 0, respectively. Hence, the incorrect answer is E.

Turn both fractions into mixed fractions resulting in 75/2 and 5/2. Then turn them into decimals. 75/2= 37.5 and 5/2= 2.5. Then divide each other 37.5 / 2.5= 15. 15 is your answer. Hope it helped :)
